Welcome to Amisfield
An organically managed, single-estate vineyard in the Pisa sub-region of Central Otago.
Founded in 1988 by John Darby, Amisfield is a single-estate organic winery in Central Otago, New Zealand, specialising in premium Pinot Noir and cool-climate aromatic white wines.
With a small single estate vineyard, our focus is on small-batch, site-driven wines crafted with precision and restraint.
Our certified organic wines offer remarkable purity, intensity, and a true sense of place. Brooding Pinot Noirs with dark, juicy fruits and refined tannins. Complex, aromatic whites with texture, acidity and flinty minerality.
In the winery, a minimal intervention approach allows each parcel of fruit from each part of the vineyard to tell its own origin story in its own way.
Reviews
Amisfield Breakneck Reserve Pinot Noir 2023
94 Points
"A bigger style of pinot with black cherry, olive and ume with a hint of savoury development under noticeable spicy oak. The palate is firmly structured with ripe, almost salty concentration of very ripe fruit with some notes of dried berries and sumac. Long and intense with impressive density but lacking a bit in detail, this large-scaled wine will soften slowly as it absorbs its wood and tannic shell."

Amisfield RKV Reserve Pinot Noir 2019
96 Points
“This RKV Reserve wine is fantastic. Core hues of dark red and ruby lead to a bouquet of complexity and power, purity and detail. Delicious on the nose and palate, with scents and flavours of spice and dark berries, plum and clove, cherry and vanilla, clay and earth, wood smoke, and dried herbs. A natural savoury complexity develops as the wine opens out on the palate, leading to textures from fine, needlepoint tannins, a medium+ acid line, and a lengthy, exuberant finish. Best drinking from day of purchase through 2035.”
